OOOPS,

Sorry Riku, didn't mean it was wrong, just really ment to say - there aint no way I could distill it up to that 94-95% ABV with the little pot still I have... Just like ZB, I is just another one of them thar Southerner simple pot stiller too...

Vino es Veritas,

Jim aka Waldo. (but would love to try that there dram - or 2 or 3....)

As described by Ian Smiley you can make perfectly good whisky with high ABV if you pay attention to details. The procedure is somewhat different from a potstill but it gives you much more hearts and less feints.> > Slainte, Riku> > --- In Distillers@yahoogroups.com, "jamesonbeam1" jamesonbeam1@ wrote:> >> > > > But I still would not try distilling my sour corn mash at the 94 to 95%> > ABV levels that Riku mentioned.> > > >>
